The contest was originally scheduled to played at Virginia's Scott Stadium in Charlottesvile, Va. The venue change was made due to the threat of severe weather in the Charlottesville area associated with Hurricane Florence and to provide emergency personnel with the ability to focus on the needs of the region's citizens throughout the weekend.

Anyone who purchased tickets through the Ohio Athletics Ticket Office will receive a refund. Call (740) 593-1300 or 1-800-575-CATS (2287) with any questions.

Combining his own skills with those of other writers and photographers, along with conference and school resources, he constantly works to provide an enjoyable MAC product.
